One-Bedroom Apartment in the Heart of Dalston – 6.5% Gross Yield with Tenant in Situ, or Vacant Possession Available

An excellent opportunity to acquire a modern one-bedroom apartment in one of East London's strongest rental markets — offered with a reliable tenant in place and the flexibility of vacant possession for buyers looking for a home rather than an investment.

The Investment Case

Currently let at £2,300 per month (£27,600 per annum), producing a gross yield of approximately 6.5% at the asking price — comfortably above the typical London average. The tenant has been in place for twelve months, and is happy to remain, meaning an investor purchases with income from day one: No void period, no marketing costs, no letting fees. The tenancy operates as a statutory periodic tenancy under the Renters' Rights Act.

For buyers seeking a home rather than an investment, vacant possession can be arranged, with four months' notice served on acceptance of an offer.

The Apartment

Positioned on the third floor of a modern development on Roseberry Place, the apartment offers a spacious open-plan living area with excellent natural light, wooden flooring throughout, and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The generous double bedroom and stylishly tiled bathroom complete a specification that consistently attracts strong tenant demand — exactly the finish young professional renters in Dalston are looking for.
